Topic: Abarth SE 018 Cuneo for sale (Read 1188 times)

The car was bought in 1971 by the Swiss Abarth-driver and -collector Engelbert Möll directly from the factory. He gave us a copy of the original bill from Abarth to his racing team "ecurie trois chevrons"

The car then was raced in the Swiss Championship (hill-climbsmainly by the Swiss driver Mr. Alfred Benzinger. The service for the car was done by thefamous Michele Piller Garage (picture in file: sticker on valve cover).

After two years Mr. Benzinger sold the car to the swiss driver Guido Käppelisome hill-climbs with it

Guido Käppeli then sold the car to Mr. Bernhard Siffert from 1782 Belfaux/Switzerlanda relative of the famous former Swiss racing driver Jo Siffert. He told usclimb races and autoslaloms and then damaged the left front during a slalom and also broke the left front uprightthe uprigth in my files).

In March 1991 I´ve bougth SE018-0013 from Mr. Siffert and he delivered the car to my housein Munich

When we got the carthe car and installed an Abarth pushrod engine (around 90 hp)perfectly. We then used the car once in a while during veteran car meetingsSilver Flag (Castell Arquato to Vernasca) in 2001 and 2002 (pictures in my files).

When we sell the carshort time ago (by the German Mercedes Benz Gullwing Specialist HK Engineering) and everythinglooks fine inside. The measurements of the crank (main = 53.915 mm and rods = 39.975 mm) and also the bore (64.86 mm pistons in 65.0 mm bore) are standardfrom HK engineering. HK engineering also replaced all crank bearings by new ones.

Just now we´ve cleaned the carshowedeven with the installed ca 90 hp instead of the 120hp of the original engine it´s really fastto the weight of less than 500kg and the small size.
